Unique and “haunting” new horror movie<\/a> Good Boy has confirmed a UK release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The film, which has earned a perfect 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, is distinctive in that it is told from a dog’s perspective.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> has now confirmed that fans in the UK will be able to watch the movie on streaming platform<\/a> Shudder alongside those in the US, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Good Boy focuses on a dog (played by director and co-writer Ben Leonberg’s own pooch Indy) who moves with owner Todd to a family home in the countryside.<\/p>\n

However, the dog senses unease in the house, including invisible presences, glimpses of the previous resident’s horrible demise, as well as warnings from a ghostly dog. <\/p>\n

Todd also begins to be taken over by a dark influence, and Indy must fight against the malevolent forces to save his best friend.<\/p>\n

“Ben Leonberg\u2019s debut is a singular experience in perspective-driven horror,” said Shudder’s SVP of Acquisitions and Production, Emily Gotto.<\/p>\n

“Told entirely through the eyes of Indy, a devoted dog whose terror and determination to save his human become our own, the film delivers a haunting and emotional experience that introduces a surprising standout performance from Indy and a strikingly assured first feature from Leonberg.” <\/p>\n

The movie received acclaim from critics following its premiere at SXSW<\/a> earlier this year, with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>‘s Frank Scheck writing: “Good Boy works well enough on its own terms, managing to sustain sufficient tension throughout the course of its smartly concise 73-minute running time.”<\/p>\n

“Leonberg crafts a thoughtful, unnerving, and heartrending portrayal of how utterly terrifying it can be for a dog when his whole world is upended and he\u2019s unable to understand why,” added Bloody Disgusting<\/a>‘s Meagan Navarro.<\/p>\n

Good Boy<\/strong> will stream on Shudder<\/a> in the UK and US.<\/strong><\/p>\n
